Today Knockout Brown, NewYork's crack little southpaw light-weight, and Tommy Lowe, Washing-ton's aged and crafty veteran of thesquared circle, clash in a fifteen-roun- d

battle at the new Ardmoreclub to determine the lightweightchampionship of the South. Today,after some of the fans had taken aslant at the stocky little lefthanderfrom the big town, the odds shiftedslightly to Brown's favor, thoughthere has been little wagering.

The opening of the new club houseat Ardmore will be celebrated ihjsafternoon with the best attractionsever offered Washington fight fans.All choice tickets wee reported soldout this morning, though there mightbe still a few available to turn up atthe last minute. The outlook is for acapacity house to see these two ster-ling lightweights get together.

"lx)wc Ib a good boy, I guess, thoughI never faced him," said Kayo Browntoday. "However, I've hern roIiik alongpretty good lately, and I'm not worry-ing in the 'cast. I have my sieed andmy old left hand punch. If Lowe canstand up under that well, I'll take myhat off to him. It ought to be a goodbout, anyway."

"Brown may be all light, but he'sIn for a real aigument today." saidTommy Lowe. ".Mike Martin seemssatUflcd with my physical condition. 1

eThough Brown was reported heavy or

this battle with Lowe, ho failed toshape up big when he arrived In Wash-ington last night. Ixjwc has height andpossibly reach on Brown, but theirweights should be very close, Bonicwhereaiound 135 or 136 pounds. The-- are awell-match- pair of performers.

Fans seeing this battle today will beshown spectacular rushing, swinging,crowding, and constant hammering onthe pail of Kayo Brown. The littlesouthpaw will try to put over the sleepwallop Just as early as possible, be-cause he wants to get back home. Op-posed to this method of attack will boTommy Lowe's quipk Jabbing tactics,with now and then a short rlghi cross,that may upset the ambitions of KuyoBrown. Brown is the tighter. Loweis the boxer.

lommy Lowe's ring lecord, while, itnanif--s tew champions, Is wot thy f re-spect, for the veteran lightweight hasmet some fast opponents since he first(limbed through the ropes to battloDanny Lewis at Highland, Md., onMatch 13, 1904. Befoie the next earshowed up this sreen lad had mottough boys. Including Tommy Kelt!!,whom he defeated In fifteen rounds atHoclc Spring. Md.

On January 2. 1905, Harry Lewis, Interwelterweight champion, defeated Lowein this city, but Kid Carter was put totlcep in one round a couple of weekslater.

Lowe was a busy boxer In 1900, meet-iii- tf

boutf, losing not a buttle. Thisrecord Immediately set him on the wayto the top.

In 1909, facing better buys, he failedto keep up his record of putting hisopponents to sleep, but ho IjeUl his ownwith such good boxvrs as l'nl Mocfie,Willie Jones, mid Charlie Goldman.In 1910 Brown began putting themaway again, stopping such tough foe-me- n

ten-roun- d bout with Abe At-te- ll.

holding him to a draw. He beatMatty Baldwin. Young Jack O'Brien,Johnny Lore, .Matt Brock, and JimmyDuffy. Indeed, at that time he look-ed like the certain coming championin the lightweight division.

Then came the cracking under histerrlllc campaigning of the past two. ''" After defeating Frankie Bus-se- ll

in ten louiuls at New Orleans,he was outpointed by Jake Abel atAtlanta, both of these bouts comingin January. At that time he wasmatched with Joe Hirer, the Mexi-can wild i at for Washington's Birth-day, 1913, at Vernon, Cal. Brown ap-peared sluggish In that battle and wasknocked out in the tenth round for thefirst time in hiu long career. How-ever. IiIb gameness had made friendsfor him and so he was matched withBud Andeison, then rushing to thefront. Brown gained a decision intwenty rounds.

Not satisrietl with that, Andersontame back again at Blown a monthlater to a da and knocked out theslugging soithpaw. Leach Cross, theLast Side dentist, also registered a' ...vel Brwn on October 7, butthese three ait the only ones in hislecord.
